PHIL IS THE MAN!!!.......Okay, this mix is for bass players and drummers.
If you want to feel like you got seats in front of Phil Lesh's bass cabinet, this show is for you.
Phil's bass sings sweet FAT round notes and when he strums a chord you had better duck...
Great opportunity to hear how Phil did it in 1972 with only 4 strings...Man, Phil sounds so good.
If a show had to have Phil "Too Hot in the Mix" I am glad it's this show, he's amazing.
Great opportunity for a drummer to play along with the band since Billy is so low in the mix...just trying to be positive...you know, Music Minus One...stuff...
Actually the mix is not that bad, Jerry, Bobby, and Phil are hot in the mix, the rest of the musicians are underneath them. The vocals could be a tad louder, but it works.
I recommend using your EQ with this one.
BIRD SONG is
11:24 long and then an equipment malfunction occurs. Nice rendition of the classic song. Garcia starts to do some DARK STAR riffs just before the gremilins show up...the total track time is 15:53.
The GRATEFUL DEAD put on a solid performance down in Nashville, too bad the mix isnt' as good as the performance. Eat a Peach.
Truckin' has a nice laid back southern style to it. With touches of "The Other One" flashing on and off inside it. Watch out Mr. Lesh taps on his bass pick-ups around
10:15 in Truckin'.
Truckin' is taken apart...until it becomes..The Other One.
The Other One is
17:56 long and it goes into a
12:04 Morning Dew. It's pretty darn amazing.
If this show was mixed properly, it'd be MONEY.
So, that's it. Get it while you can, get it while it's free, get it now or you will be sorry.
You never miss your water til' your well runs dry.
Eat, Drink, be Merry and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD.

I'm Giving this show 5 stars, the performance beats the mix. Phil's playing is amazing.
Thanks for the Love.
